mSTliUCTIONS  TO  BIDDERS  AND  POSTMASTERS; 

Containing  also  conditions  to  be  incorporated  in  the  contracts  to  the 
extent  the  Department  tnay  deem  proper. 

1.  Seven  minittes  are  allowed  to  each  intermediate  office,  when  not 
otherwise  specified,  for  assorting  the  mails. 

2.  On  routes  where  the  mode  of  conveyance  admits  of  it,  the  special 
^  agents  of  the  Post  Office  Department,  also  post  office  blanks,  mail  bags, 

locks  and  keys,  are  to  be  conveyed  without  extra  charge. 

3.  "Way  bills"  or  receipts,  prepared  by  postmasters  or  other  agents 
of  the  Department,  wiU  accompany  the  mails,  specifying  the  number 
and  destination  of  the  several  bags,  to  be  examined  by  the- postmasters, 
to  insure  regularity  in  the  dehvery  of  bags  and  pouches. 

4.  No  pay  ^vill  be  made  for  trips  not  performed ;  and  for  each  of  such 
omissions,  if  tlie  failure  be  occasioned  by  the  fault  of  the  contractor  or 
carrier,  three  times  the  pay  of  the  trip  will  be  deducted.  For  arrivals 
so  far  beliind  time  as  to  break  connection  with  depending  mails,  and  not 
sufficiently  excused,  one-fourth  of  the  compensation  for  the  trip  is  sub- 
ject to  forfeiture.  For  repeated  dehnquencies  of  the  kind  herein  speci- 
fied, enlarged  penalties,  proportioned  to  the  nature  thereof,  and  the 
importance  of  the  mail,  may  be  made. 

5.  For  leaving  behind  or  throwing  off  the  mails,  or  any  portion  of 
them,  for  the  admission  of  passengers,  or  for  being  concerned  in  setting 
up  or  running  an  express  conveying  intelligence  in  advance  of  the  mail, 
a  quarter's  pay  may  be  deducted. 

6.  Fines  will  be  imposed,  unless  the  dehnquency  be  promptly  and 
satisfactorily  explained  by  certificates  of  postmasters  or  the  affidavits  of 
other  credible  persons,  for  failing  to  arrive  in  contract  time ;  for  neglecting 
to  take  the  mail  from,  or  dehver  it  into,  a  post  office;  for  suffering  it  to 
be  wet,  injured,  destroyed,  robbed,  or  lost;  and  for  refusing,  after  demand, 
to  convey  the  mail  as  frequently  as  the  contractor  runs,  or  is  concerned 
ill  running,  a  coach,  car,  or  steamboat  on  a  route. 

7.  The  Postmaster  General  may  annul  the  contract  for  repeated 
failures  to  run  agreeably  to  contract;  for  violating  the  post  office  laws, 
or  disobeying  the  instructions  of  the  Department;  for  refusing  to  chs- 
charge  a  carrier  when  required  by  the  Department  to  do  so ;  for  running 
an  express  as  aforesaid ;  or  for  transporting  persons  or  packages  convey- 
ing mailable  matter  out  of  the  mail. 

8.  The  Postmaster  General  may  discontinue  or  extend  this  contract,

rata  increase  of  compensation  for  any  additional  service  thereby  required, 
or  for  increased  speed,  if  the  employment  of  additional  stock  or  carriers 
is  rendered  necessary ;  and  in  case  of  decrease,  curtailment,  or  discontin- 
uance of  service,  as  a  full  indemnity  to  said  contractor,  one  month's  extra 
pay  on  the  amount  of  service  dispensed  with,  and  2^ pro' rata  compensa- 
tion for  the  service  retained.  Provided^  however^  that,  in  case  of  in- 
creased expedition,  the  contractor  may,  upon  timely  notice,  relinquish 
the  contract. 

9.  Payments  will  be  made  by  collections  from,  or  drafts  on,  postmasters 
or  otherwise,  after  tlie  expiration  of  each  quarter — say  in  E^ovember, 
February,  May,  and  August,  provided  that  required  evidence  of  service 
has  been  received. 

10.  The  distances  given  are  beheved  to  be  substantially  correct;  but 
no  increased  pay  will  be  allowed  should  they  be  greater  than  advertised, 
if  the  points  to  be  suppHed  are  correctly  stated.  Bidders  must  inform 
themselves  on  this  point,  and  also  in  reference  to  the  weight  of  the  mail, 
the  condition  of  hills,  roads,  streams,  &c.,  and  all  toll-bridges,  turnpikes, 
plank-roads,  ferries,  or  obstructions  of  any  kind  by  wliich  expense  may 
be  incmTcd.  I^o  claim  for  additional  pay,  based  on  such  ground,  can  be 
considered;  nor  for  alleged  mistakes  or  misapprehension  as  to  the  degree 
of  service ;  nor  for  bridges  destroyed,  ferries  discontinued,  or  other  ob- 
structions causing  or  increasing  distance  or  expense  occurring  during  the 
contract  term.  Offices  established  after  this  advertisement  is  issued, 
and  also  during  the  contract  term,  are  to  be  visited  without  extra  pay, 
if  the  distance  be  not  increased. 

11.  Bidders  are  cautioned  to  mail  their  proposals  in  time  to  reach  the 
Department  by  the  day  and  hour  named  (3  p.  m.,  February  2,  1874),  as 
bids  received  after  that  time  will  not  he  considered  in  competition  with 
bids,  of  reasonable  amount,  received  in  time.  ^Neither  can  bids  be  con- 
sidered which  are  without  the  guarantee  required  by  law,  and  a  certifi- 
cate of  the  sufficiency  of  such  guarantee,  and  the  oath  of  the  bidder 
according  to  section  246,  act  of  June  8,  1872. 

12.  Bidders  should  first  propose  for  service  strictly  according  to  the 
advertisement,  and  then,  if  they  desire,  separately  for  different  service; 
and  if  the  regular  bid  be  the  lowest  offered  for  the  advertised  service, 
the  other  propositions  may  be  considered. 

13.  There  should  be  but  one  route  bid  for  in  a  proposal.  Consolidated 
or  combination  bids  ("proposing  one  sum  for  two  or  more  routes")  can- 
not be  considered. 

14.  The  route,  the  service,  the  yearly  pay,  the  name  and  residence  of 
the  bidder  (that  is,  his  usual  post-office  address),  and  the  name  of  each 
member  of  a  firm,  where  a  company  offers,  should  be  distinctly  stated. 

15.  Bidders  are  requested  to  use,  as  far  as  practicable,  the  printed 
proposals  furnished  by  the  Department,  to  write  out  in  full  the  smu  of 
their  bids,  and  to  retain  copies  of  them. 

Altered  bids  should  hot  be  submitted;  nor  should  bids  once  submitted 
be  withdrawn.  No  withdrawal  of  a  bidder  or  guarantor  will  be  allowed 
unless  the  withdrawal  is  received  twenty-four  hours  previous  to  the  time 
fixed  for  opening  the  proposals. 

Each  bid  must  be  guaranteed  by  two  responsible  persons.  The  bid 
and  guarantee  should  be  signed  plainly  with  the  full  name  of  each  person. 


INSTRUCTIONS  95 

The  Postmaster  General  reserve  the  right  to  reject,  any  bid  which 
may  be  deemed  extravagant ;  and  also  to  disregard  the  bids  of  failing 
^contractors  and  bidders.     (Act  of  June  8,  1872,  section  249.) 
'      16.  The  bid  should  be  sealed,  superscribed  "Mail  Proposals,  State  of 
,"  addressed  "Second  Assistant  Postmaster  General,  Con- 
tract Office."     Bids  of  $5,000  per  annum  and  upward  must  be  accom- 
panied by  a  certiiied  check,  or  draft,  on  some  solvent  national  bank,  equal 
to  5  per  cent,  of  the  amount ;  also  bids  for  service  which  now  costs 
$5,000  or  more  per  annum.     Where  the  present  pay  is  $5,000  or  more, 
it  is  stated  in  the  advertisement  under  the  appropriate  route. 

IT.  TAe  contracts  are  to  be  executed  and  returned  to  the  Depart- 
ment by  or  before  the  \st  day  of  Jane^  18 74-,  otherwise  the  accepted 
bidder  will  be  considered  as  having  failed^  and  the  Postmaster  Gtn- 
eral  may  proceed  to  contract  for  the  service  with  other  parties^  accord- 
ing to  law. 

Transfers  of  contracts,  or  of  interest  in  contracts,  are  forbidden  by 
law,  and  consequently  cannot  be  allowed.  Neither  can  bids,  or  inter- 
est in  bids,  be  transferred  or  assigned  to  other  parties.  Bidders  will 
therefore  take  notice  that  they  will  be  expected  to  perform  the  service 
awarded  to  them  through  the  whole  contract  term. 

18.  Section  219  of  the  act  of  June  8, 1872,  provides  that  contraQts  for 
the  transportation  of  the  mail  shall  be  "  awarded  to  the  lowest  bidder 
tendering  sufficient  guarantees  for  faithful  performance,  without  other 
reference  to  the  mode  of  such  transportation  than  may  be  necessary  to 
provide  for  the  due  celerity,  certainty,  and  security  thereof."  Under 
this  law  bids  that  propose  to  transport  the  mails  with  ^'celerity,  certainty, 
and  security ^"^  having  been  decided  to  be  the  only  legal  bids,  are  con- 
strued as  providing  for  the  entire  mail,  however  large,  and  whatever 
may  be  the  mode  of  conveyance  necessary  to  insure  its  ^'celemty,  cer- 
tainty, and  security^''  and  have  the  preference  over  all  others,  and  no 
others  are  considered,  except  for  steamboat  routes. 

19.  A  modification  of  a  bid  in  any  of  its  essential  terms  is  tantamount 
to  a  new  bid,  and  cannot  be  received,  so  as  to  interiere  with  regular 
competition.  Making  a  new  bid,  with  guarantee  and  certificate,  is  the 
only  way  to  modify  a  previous  bid. 

20.  Postmasters  are  to  be  careful  not  to  certify  to  the  sufficiency 
of  guarantors  without  knowing  that  they  are  persons  of  sufficient 
responsibility.  (See  section  247,  act  of  June  8,  1872.)  They  must  not 
sign  the  cerf'ficate  until  the  sum  of  the  bid  is  inserted,  and  the  bid  and 
guarantee  are  signed  by  the  bidder  and  (two)  guarantors;  a  disregard 
of  this  instruction  by  postmasters  will  subject  them,  to  immediate  retno-
